Sindhuja meaning
Sindhuja (सिंधुजा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Ocean-born; a name of Lakshmi, born from the churned ocean
Sindhuja (सिंधुजा) joins sindhu, "river, sea", with -ja, "born of". Monier-Williams gives sindhuja as "ocean-born, river-born" and the feminine sindhujā as a name of Lakshmi, who rose from the ocean of milk when the gods and demons churned it. Name lists give "born of the ocean" or "daughter of the river", and several link it to Lakshmi, all of which match the dictionary. The name is used in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, where it is also spelled Sinduja.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
